Two sitting soldiers 

"Two Sitting Soldiers" is a red chalk drawing by the Italian Baroque artist Salvator Rosa, known for his dramatic landscapes and genre scenes. This piece showcases Rosa's mastery of capturing human figures with expressive gestures. The dynamic pose of the soldier pointing, perhaps communicating orders or sharing observations, contrasts with the more relaxed posture of his companion. The detailed rendering of their attire, including the intricate helmet of the seated soldier, adds a sense of realism and historicity to the composition. The drawing is housed in the Städel Museum.
